Contemporary Teen fiction by John Green. Miles Halter is your average teen-age high school student, he blends in with the crowd. But, he's actually pretty insightful, and wants his life to be more than average. So, he convinces is parents to let him go off to boarding school, "to seek the Great Perhaps."

Miles becomes friends with an eclectic group of people.

This is a terrific book. It's well written, with wonderful, unique characters. Now I want to read all of the author's other books.
